This song got me out of DEEP depression when my ex wife divorced me to be with someone else. By the time she realized her mistake (5 years later) I met my current wife who has been my heart for 16+ years now.
I am 😊 I listen to this Atleast once or twice every other day , sometimes on repeat til I’m ok with whatever is going on in my life currently ! Time heals all things
This song takes me back one evening my father beat my Mom.She was sitting on the couch crying while he drove off.This song was play on TV in the background.That day I promised myself never to lay a hand on my wife.Today I am 41 years old married and never did I ever lay a hand on my wife.I remember those broken days like yesterday.
I bump this everyday in my car. Not because I've been hurt but my mother used to jam the disco version while she cleaned house on Saturdays but this remake has become one of my favs.
This is so fitting to me for I'm a Breast Cancer Survivor twice over Thank You Lord....This is a Survivor song from hurt and pain but I also feel it for my life as well it's been a long journey!! August will mark 7 years woot

100lbs down and nothing but happy tears! "Wasn't you the one that tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble, did you think i lay down and DIE!" Love this song!
Vitamin C I hope so as well!!! I liked SWV, Xscape, and Kelly Price. I always wonder what happened to Chantay. I wouldn't mind seeing her and Jodeci!!! I'm not on Fb sorry.
I used to play the song on my walkman radio back in 1996. one of three covers of this song rock version by Cake and Diana Ross version that came out a year earlier plus the late Aretha Franklin did a version of this song ten years ago. Of the original version done by Gloria Gaynor in 1978.
She did that, the remake of a classic was done flawlessly. Her version came out when I broke up with my first boyfriend in the 90s, I was 19 years of age, I'm 47 today with a grown man for 22 years. The best line for me was "so long bye-bye" I love it.
I'm from Chicago as is she, and I remember like it was yesterday, this song was hugely popular! This and Donnell Jones stayed in rotation on the radios.
This song saved me through all the crap in my life. I told her how this song saved me and she wrote back and said thank you. She was so humble and sweet. I’ll never forget it! ❤
Greatest cover of ALL TIME FOR ME. I remember when I was like 7 or 8 when this came out. This made me wanna sing, and now, I sing. When she sings that "and you see meeee..." and "so long buh-buh-buy baybay," my heart MELTS. Takes me back to drives home from family events (a family full of singers) in the 90s 🥹🙂❤️🙏🏾
A classic song from the late 1990's when I was in kittrell job corps center in North Carolina. This is a true song of survival for everyone going or having gone through something and now you can hold your head up high. God is definitely good. Chante savage did a fantastic job on this song. Thank you for rewriting a classic song and bringing so many people THROUGH THE STORM, Chante' !!
Gone are the days when life in south africa was good.love was love.a woman would visit you.youll seat under the tree with your girl listening to this kind music.alcohol was not popular those days.youll buy a girl big packet of smoke beef lemon creams,cream soda drink life was good.not now we are lost.may God restore us
It's irony how her last name is Savage because she absolutely went beast mode on this song. Love me some Gloria Gaynor, but I gotta give my girl Chantay the nod for this track.
amen to that... everytime i play this song it just takes me back to 96 and i remember exactly what i was doing right after high school. music is so freakin powerful!! i remember the mixtapes i had with this version and the remix version of it too :)
This song was absolutely amazing! It's 2024 and this song means more now than it did back then for so many people! This is a TRUE ANTHEM for so many people.
When someone walks out your life, it’s God removing them.They’re not suppose to be in your life, they only had a reason or season, but not a lifetime. God’s grace gives us strength to SURVIVE!
Her voice!!!...Her voice!!! While listening to this...I became so engulfed in the tone and narrative of the song...I was held under Her spell, literally!!! Her voice!!!
Throwbackkkk! Where Chantay at? I remember this joint. I survived escaping a full fledge narcissistic sociopathic energy vampire dem0n. All Praise to The Most High!
I remember trying to mimic Chantay's vocal style when I sing that song in high school, just to channel her sassy personality. I loved Gloria's version but Chantay's take was soulful and so 90's. I was going through my problems as a teenager: fake love, rejection and being bullied for being gay so this song is still my pick me up jam. Thank you Chantay Savage
I remember this song playing on the radio every morning as my mom drove me to school. i was only in the 3rd grade then. In my older grown up age one morning on my way to work in the shower this song was playing in my head. Funny how music appears out of thin air. I love the way she sings this song.
When i was younger....I knew this song had power but at the age of 36 I experienced heartbreak a few times...dealing with raising a child alone and bills....I know for sure I will survive!!!!!! Even though mentally I'm in such a happy place loving myself again hitting the gym and saying no when necessary!!!!! THIS SONG MESSAGE IS SO POWERFUL AND WILL NEVER GET OLD!!! # oh and she was so beautiful in this video👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽Thank you Queen wherever you at. I hope someone is loving you and you're happy! Keep God first❤
I was afraid, I was petrified Thinkin' I could never live without you by my side And now I've spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong But I grew strong, I learned how to get along To you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face I should have changed all the locks I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second You'd be back to bother me Oh, now go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Coz you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down an' die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Coz I got all my life to live And I got all my love to give And I will survive, I will survive Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye? Took all the strength I had not to fall apart Tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent so many nights Feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person That still in love with you An' so you feet like droppin' in An' thinkin' that I would be free But now I'm savin' all my lovin' For someone who's lovin' me Oh, now go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Coz you're not welcome anymore, no Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me With goodbye, did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Coz I got all my life to live And I got all my love to give And I will survive, yes, I will, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah If you wanna know do I need you? No, no, no I will, I will, I will, I will survive So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye So long, bye, bye, bye, bye I will, I will, I will survive
I remember I used to listen to this song everyday 6 years ago after a boy I used to love the most took my virginity and broke up with me. I felt like it was the end of the world and I was losing myself. Looking back I can't believe I'm here today, God has blessed me with a man who has shown me love, he's the one who helped me heal and reminded me that I'm worthy to be loved. I guess I had to go through the worst to appreciate what I have now
I HATED THIS SONG IN THE 70'S GLORIA 'S VERSION BUT NOW ...OH MY, OH MY, OH MY, ...CHANTAE PUT IT OUT THERE FORE EVERYBODY TO LOVE...I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT! !!!!
My cousin used to play this Song none stop every Sunday while she's cleaning the house I was about 5/6 that time this tune was my childhood soundtrack, I love it till today
This is when you want the abuse to stop and you realize you don't need him no more you need you and that's all that matters. You got God and you that matters
I was only 13 when this song came out, and I remember buying this single from Camelot and playing it over and over. I would sing my little heart out, what did I know about surviving?? lol
I bought her CD in 1996 when i was 14 @ Wherehouse Music, and I still have it. Who still has this CD in 2021? The intro to this song that's not included in the music video is of her seeing it acapella for a few minutes before background music starts..... boy, it's just as moving.
Chantay Savage is an unmatched vocal talent. I wish that competent producers like Jimmy Jam and Tery Lewis could craft a musical project for her. Great singers like Chantay Savage deserves great songs to sing. Thank You to all involved in sharing her musical gift with this wonderful and classic song to the world.
Jamás habia escuchado ésta versión...extraordinario todo,el arreglo,la voz de Chantay,que tampoco la conocia. Me encantó,no se de ella,de su carrera,pero canta precioso,tiene mucha fuerza.❤❤😂
yesterday the father of my child came to see him after 6 months, i told him our little boy wasnt doing well at school. he started with the blame game, telling me i wasnt doing enough. i acknowledged i had to do more towards or son's education but he kept on persisting with the accusations. this time i avoided the confrontation, the arguments. i am done, i am different, i walked away peacefully. until he realises the impact of his absence as a father, until he acknowledges he is not contributing enough and that he is not merely doing me a favour by checking on our son. perhaps until he takes responsibility and commits to raising his son. then, ONLY then we can have a conversation. this song speaks so much to me. even though i am strugling as a single mother. i will survive, i will raise my son to the best of my abilities. Son, i will do all i can, i promise, i will survive. WE WILL SURVIVE.
Leungo Rakola To be honest I hope you aren't. You're extremely beautiful and I can tell by your braids that you're from an island somewhere. You are beautiful ms. Self employed. What is out you do for a living ? Then again how many men in the 6 months your b dad was gone ??? I deleted the comments because unlike me you put your real name up and anyone can view you on Facebook. I talk shit for my own personal entertainment never meaning anything by it. I don't want some dumb ass trading my post the facebooking your name.
talkin shit thank you for deleting those comments. although u say you said those words for entertainmnt but u will never know how some1 on th other end would receive them. some ppl r weak n others hv really thick skin. u will never really knw wat sum1 is goin thru n what yo words can do to te them. but like i said im not like anything u refered to. so we cool. thank u for the compliments. stay blessed.
talkin shit to answer your questions. i am a chattered accountant, im not promiscous, i do not live in an island. i am from the motherland. i am from AFRICA.
One of the most creative and best remakes ever. Love the arrangement, the background vocal arrangements, and that poignant synthesizer line. Perfection! Thanks Shante.
This was a real good remake of this song. Chantay was a talented singer I thought she was gonna blow up. I wonder what happened to her because she is unsung for real.
She said she does alot of behind the scenes of music now such as mentoring, writing songs, arranging songs, etc, she said she's working with some up and coming artists.
